King of the WWF
This title grew out of the 1986 King of the Ring Tournament (not to be confused with the King of the Ring PPV from 1993-2002),
which took place on 14-Jul-1986 in Foxboro, MA. Harley Race defeated Pedro Morales
in the finals, and on 05-Aug-1986 (Poughkeepsie, NY; aired 30-Aug-1986), as a promotional gimmick, he was crowned
"King of the WWF" and actually defended the crown in matches. During a match with Hulk Hogan on 07-Mar-1988 in Nashville, TN,
Race was seriously injured when he tried to headbutt Hogan through a table and Hogan moved out of the way. This
match aired on 12-Mar-1988 on SNME. Haku was then crowned King of the WWF on 21-Jun-1988 in
Glens Falls, NY (aired 09-Jul-1988). This coronation is on the "Best of the WWF Vol. 17" video. He lost the crown to
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan on 26-Apr-1989 in Omaha, NE. That Superstars of Wrestling episode
aired 13-May-1989 and the cooronation aired 20-May-1989.
Duggan lost the crown in turn to Randy Savage on 30-Aug-1989 in Portland, ME
(match aired on 23-Sep-1989 on Superstars of Wrestling, coronation aired 30-Sep-1989 also on Superstars).
Savage became became known as the "Macho King", and kept the "title" until WrestleMania VII. (Thanks to Alonzo Clayton)

NWA Titles
From 1971 to 1983 the WWWF/WWF was a member of the NWA and the NWA World Champion was recognized by the federation.
The NWA Champion would occasionally make appearances in the WWF and defend the title. The two most notable of these
title defenses were on 22-Sep-1980 in New York when Bob Backlund defeated Harley Race by DQ and on 04-Jul-1982 when
Backlund and Ric Flair wrestled to a double countout in Atlanta, GA. In 1998, Jim Cornette brought NWA World
Heavyweight Champion Dan Severn and NWA World Tag Team Champions The Rock & Roll Express (Ricky Morton &
Robert Gibson) into the WWF. Severn successfully defended the title occasionally during his stay in the WWF. The Tag
Team Titles changed hands on two occasions: Morton & Gibson lost the titles to The Headbangers on 17-Feb-1998 in
Waco, TX and Bob Holly & Bart Gunn (billed as the New Midnight Express) won the titles on 30-Mar-1998 in Albany,
NY. Recognition of the NWA titles by the WWF was shortly concluded and Holly & Gunn lost the titles to The Border
Patrol on 14-Aug-1998 at an NWA card in Greenville, NC.
